What are some common fishing injuries and how to treat them?

Common Fishing Injuries and Treatment

Fishing, like any outdoor activity, can pose risks of injuries. Some common fishing injuries include hook punctures, cuts from knives or fishing lines, sprains from slipping on wet surfaces, and sunburn. If you get hooked, do not try to remove the hook yourself; seek medical help. For cuts, clean the wound with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and bandage it. In case of sprains, rest the affected area, apply ice, compress with a bandage, and elevate the limb. To prevent sunburn, wear sunscreen, protective clothing, and a hat. Always carry a first aid kit with you while fishing.
